I'm having another go at it this year (I forgot last year). My wife is trying it also, for the first time.
Last time I got about 1500 words and was unemployed. This time I'm working 40-80 hours a week!
Going to try to hand write it. I have typing injuries and so I don't think I can type that much. Will be using a Lamy Safari fountain pen with Noodler's black ink, on an undecided notebook. I don't really think my hands will hold up to that either, but oh well.
I have only a vague notion of what I want to write. Something inspirational. Hope I figure it out tomorrow morning when I start. (c:
Be happy!

Hello everyone,
I am posting on here for one reason and one reason alone. After this past year's NaNoWriMo I became inspired by the effort which Seatle made in achieving the largest combined wordcount in the world (16,757,473 total combined words to be exact). It is that effort that has sparked my vision.
I say that we, the combined elite writers of Mississippi, ban together in combining our wordcounts for November '08 to defeat the superpower of Seatle!
All I need from you is your NaNo account name, an email adress, and a will to commit to the word count goals you set (whether that is 1 word, 50k to win, or whatever more). Please post that information on here so I may add you to the roster for a contribution in the pot of wordcounts.
Also, anyone who would like to help me in gathering other prospective WriMos within the state, or those that would compete for our state from the outside. Please, oh please give me their information as well. Any help will be appreciated in the utmost of fashions.
We can most definitely do this as the Mississippi NaNoWriMo Elite!
